Fitness Friday...Treadmill Burn

I am certainly not a personal trainer...nor do I claim to be as good as one...but I'm pretty good at replicating classes and such that I have done in the past.  One class that I used to LOVE was called Burn.  You could take it either on the treadmill or the spin bike with a personal trainer in a group...basically it was an ass whooping in an hour!  You would alternate between the bike/mill and weights/resistance bands.  I have been trying to recreate the class in my basement while Aubrey is napping.  Now while it is not at it's not quite at ass whooping level right now, I am looking forward to ramping it up soon!

First I rigged up my treadmill so that I could easily move from mill to weights quickly.

Oh yeah...I hit 1000 miles on Wednesday!!! 

Then it was on!

5 min warm-up

5 min run

squats w/ bicep curl, step-ups w/ lateral raise, tricep kickbacks

10 min walk at 15 incline

chest press with band, squat row with band, push up on mill

10 min run (increase speed each minute)

squat jumps, plank push ups, tricep dips

10 min walk at 15 incline with hand weights (usually 3lbs)

lunges with front raise, hammer curls, dead lifts with reverse fly

5 min run (all out)

5 min cool down

Now note that I do not have a lot of exercises that involve my core/ab muscles in this.  This is due to the fact that I have not been cleared to really exercise and do not want to risk injury or complications from my c-section. 

I love that I get in 40 minutes of cardio in and am still doing weight training as well!  This always keeps my heart rate soaring!  Bonus is that I can earn lots of points for the HBBC which starts on Monday....DO NOT forget to sign up!!!
